Youth misguided
Re: "More than ready for world," May 15. Nithya Krishnan, a Fort Myers High School graduate, decided she didn't want four more years of George Bush, so she joined the Kerry campaign. She organized a rally on Pine Island and encouraged Dunbar voters to go to the polls.
Election day was bitter, so she said she didn't go to school the next day. It was the school's Youth in Government program piqued her interest in politics. She said, "I want people to have health care. I want people to pretend the environment exists. I want equal rights."
This student fails "common sense." What Nithya doesn't realize is that after 2001, the gloves are off, our president is taking care of business, which is making people like Nithya and her instructors nervous. Nithya needs to decide whether she is here to use America or help America.
Our president has taken a much softer stance against the enemies of the United States than he could have. Nithya doesn't know how good she has it.
